Conspirare - Considering Matthew Shepard

Matthew Shepard was a young, gay college student at the University of Wyoming who in October 1998 was kidnapped, severely beaten, tied to a fence and left to die in a lonely field under a blanket of stars. When Shepard passed away, five days later, an offended world looked on. Since that mournful month, Craig Hella Johnson has had a strong inner desire to respond musically. The result is Considering Matthew Shepard.
